Photos Of The Year 2011>> The Look Of The Irish Pt.3

Next Chapter >

This is looking like one of my last posts of 2011, so apologies if I come over all emotional and reminiscent. It has been another incredible year where I’ve had the opportunity to shoot some amazing events, meet great people and continue to live my dream. However, it can be a pretty demanding job at times. It might look easy from the outside – at least I thought it did before I started – but once you immerse yourself into the Speedhunter’s lifestyle, you quickly become aware of just how demanding the job is.

I’ve often found that I’ve become so excited about a story that I become too giddy to write about it accurately. I know, how ever so professional of me but I often can’t supress the excitement the job brings me.

I remember some years ago when I was still in college, working part-time in a local Blockbuster, I would look forward every day to going home to check out a small blog called ‘J-Style’ by one Dino Dalle Carbonare. I could only dream of a day where I could make a living from photographing cars.

I never gave up on that dream. I spent my years in college being convinced by my lecturers that I was never going to make it, and that I should have more realistic ambitions. If it wasn’t for the constant support of my family, friends and mentors, I probably would have resigned to that.

Speedhunters would be nothing without you. It’s your opinions, reactions, applause and criticisms that makes Speedhunters what it is today. Every single member of staff here always strives to bring you the most honest representation of any of a plethora of automotive happenings from around the world. Speaking for myself, I never want to get to a stage where this becomes just a job. I promise that I will always give it everything I can, just so you can share my dream.

They say that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.
